ROCHESTER, Min., Jan. 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HMN Financial, Inc. (HMN or the Company) (Nasdaq:HMNF), the $1.1 billion holding company for Home Federal Savings Bank (the Bank), today reported net income of $1.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, a decrease of $0.9 million compared to net income of $2.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. Diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $0.33, a decrease of $0.23 from the diluted earnings per share of $0.56 for the fourth quarter of 2022. Net income for the quarter was negatively impacted by a $1.7 million decrease in net interest income between the periods primarily because of a decrease in the net interest margin as a result of increased funding costs. This decrease in net income was partially offset by a $0.1 million increase in the gain on sales of loans due to an increase in mortgage loan originations and sales between the periods. Other non-interest income increased $0.1 million primarily because of an increase in the commissions earned on the sale of uninsured investment products between the periods.
President’s Statement
“Maintaining our net interest income continued to be a challenge in the fourth quarter as the rates paid on our deposits and other funding sources increased more quickly than the rates on our interest earning assets,” said Bradley Krehbiel, President and Chief Executive Officer of HMN. “We are, however, encouraged by the stabilization in our deposit balances and interest rates that we began to observe in the fourth quarter. We are optimistic that net interest margin compression will slow in the coming quarters as our deposit costs stabilize and our earning assets reprice to current market rates. We will continue to focus our efforts on profitably growing the Company and improving our net interest income as we move into the new year.”
*Fourth Quarter Results*
Net Interest Income
Net interest income was $7.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 19.7%, from $8.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. Interest income was $11.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, an increase of $1.5 million, or 15.4%, from $10.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. Interest income increased primarily because of the $48.3 million increase in the average interest-earning assets between the periods and also because of the increase in the average yield earned on interest-earning assets between the periods. The average yield earned on interest-earning assets was 4.15% for the fourth quarter of 2023, an increase of 39 basis points from 3.76% for the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase in the average yield is primarily related to the increase in market interest rates as a result of the 5.25% increase in the prime interest rate over the past two years. Interest expense was $4.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, an increase of $3.3 million, or 303.8%, from $1.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. Interest expense increased primarily because of the increase in the average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities between the periods. Interest expense also increased because of the $41.1 million increase in the average interest-bearing liabilities and non-interest bearing deposits between the periods. The average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities and non-interest bearing deposits was 1.72% for the fourth quarter of 2023, an increase of 128 basis points from 0.44% for the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase in the average rate paid is primarily related to the change in the types of funding sources as more brokered deposits and certificates of deposit were used in the fourth quarter of 2023 than were used in the fourth quarter of 2022. These funding sources generally have higher interest rates than traditional checking and money market accounts. The increase in market interest rates as a result of the 5.25% increase in the federal funds rate over the past two years also contributed to higher funding costs in the fourth quarter of 2023 when compared to the same period in 2022. Net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets) for the fourth quarter of 2023 was 2.58%, a decrease of 77 basis points, compared to 3.35% for the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease in the net interest margin is primarily because the increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities and non-interest bearing deposits exceeded the increase in the average yield earned on interest-earning assets between the periods.
A summary of the Company’s net interest margin for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 is as follows:

Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses was $0.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, the same as for the fourth quarter of 2022. The provision for credit losses for the quarter was due to the increases in the individual loan loss reserves and increased charge-offs during the quarter. These increases were partially offset by decreases in the provision because of a decrease in outstanding loan balances, as well as a decrease due to management’s assessment that there was a slight improvement in qualitative factors related to overall economic conditions. The provision for credit losses also includes an amount for unfunded commitments that decreased slightly during the fourth quarter of 2023.The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Loans evaluated individually are not included in the collective evaluations. The collective reserve amount is assessed based on size and risk characteristics of the various portfolio segments, past loss history and other adjustments determined to have a potential impact on future credit losses. The collective reserve amount decreased during the quarter primarily because of management’s perception that forecasted economic conditions had slightly improved during the quarter. The collective reserve amount also decreased because of a decrease in the outstanding loan balances during the quarter. Total non-performing assets were $3.8 million at December 31, 2023, an increase of $2.7 million compared to $1.1 million at September 30, 2023. The increase is primarily related to a $2.2 million commercial business loan relationship in the agriculture industry that was classified as non-performing during the quarter.
A reconciliation of the Company’s allowance for credit losses for the quarters ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 is summarized as follows:

Non-Interest Income and Expense
Non-interest income was $2.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, an increase of $0.3 million, or 13.0%, from $1.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. Other non-interest income increased $0.1 million due primarily to an increase in the income earned on the sales of uninsured investment products between the periods. Gain on sales of loans increased $0.1 million primarily because of an increase in the single family loans that were sold between the periods. Fees and service charges increased slightly between the periods due primarily to an increase in the commitment fees earned on unused commercial lines of credit. Loan servicing fees decreased slightly due to a decrease in the aggregate balances of single family loans that were being serviced for others as more serviced loans were paid off than were added to the servicing portfolio between the periods.
Non-interest expense was $7.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 0.7%, from $7.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. Occupancy and equipment expense decreased $0.1 million due primarily to a decrease in building maintenance expenses between the periods. Compensation and benefits expense decreased slightly primarily because of a decrease in performance incentives earned between the periods. Other non-interest expense decreased slightly between the periods primarily because of a decrease in the deposit losses that were incurred. Professional services expense decreased slightly primarily because of a decrease in technology consulting costs between the periods. These decreases in non-interest expenses were partially offset by a $0.1 million increase in data processing expenses due to an increase in system processing and mobile banking charges between the periods.Income tax expense was $0.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, a decrease of $0.5 million from $0.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease in income tax expense is primarily the result of a decrease in pre-tax income between the periods.
Return on Assets and Equity
Return on average assets (annualized) for the fourth quarter of 2023 was 0.51%, compared to 0.89% for the same period of 2022. Return on average equity (annualized) was 4.76% for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to 8.32% for the same period in 2022. Book value per common share at December 31, 2023 was $24.16, compared to $21.72 at December 31, 2022.
*Annual Results*
Net Income
Net income was $6.0 million for 2023, a decrease of $2.0 million, or 25.4%, compared to net income of $8.0 million for 2022. Diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $1.37, a decrease of $0.46 per share, compared to diluted earnings per share of $1.83 for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in net income between the periods was due primarily to a $1.5 million decrease in net interest income primarily because of a decrease in the net interest margin as a result of increased funding costs. Gain on sales of loans decreased $0.9 million between the periods because of a decrease in mortgage loan sales. Compensation expense increased $0.9 million due primarily to annual salary increases between the periods. These decreases in net income were partially offset by a $0.4 decrease in the provision for credit losses between the period. Other non-interest income increased $0.2 million primarily because of an increase in the commissions earned on the sale of uninsured investment products between the periods.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income was $30.8 million for 2023, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 4.6%, from $32.3 million for 2022. Interest income was $43.5 million for 2023, an increase of $9.2 million, or 26.9%, from $34.3 million for 2022. Interest income increased because of the $54.1 million increase in the average interest-earning assets between the periods and also because of the increase in the average yield earned on interest-earning assets between the periods. The average yield earned on interest-earning assets was 4.02% for 2023, an increase of 69 basis points from 3.33% for 2022. The increase in the average yield is primarily related to the increase in market interest rates as a result of the 5.25% increase in the prime interest rate over the past two years. Interest expense was $12.7 million for 2023, an increase of $10.7 million, or 536.3%, compared to $2.0 million for 2022. Interest expense increased primarily because of the increase in the average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities between the periods. Interest expense also increased because of the $46.5 million increase in the average interest-bearing liabilities and non-interest bearing deposits between the periods. The average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities and non-interest bearing deposits was 1.28% for 2023, an increase of 107 basis points from 0.21% for 2022. The increase in the average rate paid is primarily related to the change in the types of funding sources used between the periods as more brokered deposits, certificates of deposits, and Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances were used in 2023 than in 2022. These funding sources generally have interest rates that are higher than traditional checking and money market accounts. The increase in market interest rates as a result of the 5.25% increase in the federal funds rate over the past two years also contributed to the higher funding costs in 2023 when compared to 2022. Net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets) for 2023 was 2.84%, a decrease of 30 basis points, compared to 3.14% for 2022. The decrease in the net interest margin is primarily because the increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities and non-interest bearing deposits exceeded the increase in the average yield earned on interest-earning assets between the periods.

Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses was $0.7 million for 2023, a decrease of $0.4 million from the $1.1 million provision for loan losses for 2022. The provision for credit losses decreased between the periods primarily because the increase in the provision due to loan growth was less in 2023 than for 2022. The decrease in the provision because of loan growth was partially offset by an increase in the provision due to increased charge-offs and specific reserves in 2023. The provision for credit losses also includes an amount for unfunded commitments that decreased $0.1 million during 2023.The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Loans evaluated individually are not included in the collective evaluations. The collective reserve amount is assessed based on size and risk characteristics of the various portfolio segments, past loss history and other adjustments determined to have a potential impact on future credit losses. The collective reserve amount increased in 2023 primarily because of the loan growth that was experienced. The Company’s qualitative reserve amount decreased during the year because of management’s perception that forecasted economic conditions had slightly improved. Total non-performing assets were $3.8 million at December 31, 2023, an increase of $1.9 million, or 103.3.%, from $1.9 million at December 31, 2022. The increase is primarily related to a $2.6 million commercial loan relationship in the agriculture industry that was classified as non-performing during 2023.

Non-Interest Income and Expense
Non-interest income was $8.3 million for 2023, a decrease of $0.6 million, or 6.8%, from $8.9 million for the 2022. Gain on sales of loans decreased $0.9 million between the periods because of a decrease in single family loan originations and sales due primarily to an increase in mortgage interest rates between the periods. Loan servicing fees decreased slightly between the periods due to a decrease in the aggregate balances of single family mortgage loans that were being serviced for others. These decreases were partially offset by a $0.1 million increase in fees and service charges between the periods due primarily to an increase in the commitment fees earned on unused commercial lines of credit. Other non-interest income increased $0.2 million due primarily to an increase in the gains realized on equity securities between the periods.Non-interest expense was $29.8 million for 2023, an increase of $1.0 million, or 3.4%, from $28.8 million for 2022. Compensation and benefits expense increased $0.9 million primarily because of annual salary increases. Other non-interest expense increased $0.4 million between the periods primarily because of an increase in FDIC insurance expense due to an increase in assessment rates. Data processing expenses increased $0.2 million due to an increase in system processing and mobile banking charges between the periods. These increases in non-interest expense were partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in professional services because of a decrease in legal expenses between the periods. Occupancy and equipment expense decreased $0.2 million between the periods due to a decrease in building maintenance expenses.Income tax expense was $2.5 million for 2023, a decrease of $0.7 million from $3.2 million for 2022. The decrease in income tax expense is primarily the result of a decrease in pre-tax income between the periods.
